I earn under the tax limit even when I work overtime but when I do work overtime it takes NI out of my wages. How do I get this back ?

    You don't - NIC is not cumulative like tax so if you over the threshold for a pay period you will pay NIC.

    You can’t. Unlike PAYE tax NI is applied to each individual payment.
